In a formal statement today (11 April), the Director of the National Gallery of Australia (NGA) Dr Nick Mitzevich, announced a $60 million budget to revitalise the Gallery’s Sculpture Garden.
Considered one of Australia’s largest sculpture gardens, at three hectares, it has grown in a relatively random fashion since it was first created in 1981 by landscape architectural practice Harry Howard and Associates.
